The Structure of Scientific Revolutions

Thomas S. Kuhn, 1962

Medium length, about 264 pages

How science really changes its mind. Short and influential.

Talk about it

  1. In your own words, how does science change its mind, according to Kuhn?
  2. Can you think of a shift in your own field or life that worked the way he describes?
  3. If science moves in revolutions, how much should we trust what it says today?

Questions we wrote from what the book covers. They don’t give away the plot. How we pick. For more, try our questions for any book.
